About Us

At Neighborhood Role Model, we believe fashion does more than dress the body — it speaks to the heart, shapes identity, and echoes purpose. Our mission is bold yet simple: to offer clothing and accessories that carry meaning, not just style.

Who We Are

Born from the real work of Mr. Collins and our community mentors, Neighborhood Role Model is grounded in service. When you wear one of our designs, you're not just wearing a brand — you're carrying the message of role, responsibility, and respect. In our world, seeing someone in a Neighborhood Role Model shirt signals: this is someone worth looking up to.

This brand grew from hands-on work with at‑risk youth, community programs, and mentors who walk the talk daily. We’ve seen how clothing can become a banner: a visual affirmation of pride, aspiration, and positivity. That’s the legacy we build with every stitch.

What We Stand For

• Inspiration over trend. Trends fade. Character endures. We design pieces intended to resonate long after seasons pass.

• Community at the core. Our roots are local, but our impact is global. Every purchase fuels mentorship initiatives, outreach, and support for young people who need hope more than hype.

• Authenticity & integrity. From the fabrics we choose to the messages we share, transparency and meaning are non‑negotiable.

• Wearability + empowerment. Our clothes are meant to be lived in — comfortable, quality, real — not museum pieces. But they also carry a call: to be better, to lift others, to lead.

A Movement, Not Just a Store

Neighborhood Role Model is more than a label. It’s a movement. It’s a signal in a crowd that says: “I believe in more — more kindness, more leadership, more inspiration.” When you wear us, you become part of that story. You become a walking reminder in your neighborhood — in your world — that role models are not legendary beings, but everyday people choosing to make a positive mark.

Join Us

We’re honored when our community wears our pieces, shares our message, or simply listens. Whether you’re shopping one hoodie or becoming a longtime supporter, you’re helping us expand the circle of influence. Together, let’s dress for purpose, walk with conviction, and lift the next generation higher.

Welcome to the family. We’re glad you’re here.
